Love was in the air at Nationals Park on Wednesday night, as two Houston Astros fans got engaged in the stands during the game.

By the way, the Nationals were playing the New York Yankees, not the Astros, making the engagement incredibly random at a game that featured two teams that the happy couple didn't even root for.

Alas, the moment struck and the ring was presented. She said yes, and the crowd went crazy.

Baseball fans across social media were wondering the same thing. Here are some of the best reactions to the moment of love on Wednesday night.
